Dear "Moffett, Kyle D",
In message DDD31591-33CD-49E4-B303-3477E00933BF@boeing.com you wrote:
I apparently cannot rely on the U-Boot *CODE* to understand what the U-Boot *CODING* style is.
You don't have to rely on the code. It's clearly documented.
The README says:
Coding Standards: -----------------
All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory...
http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/CodingStyle says the same.
And the referred document says:
Chapter 2: Breaking long lines and strings Coding style is all about readability and maintainability using commonly available tools. The limit on the length of lines is 80 columns and this is a strongly preferred limit. Statements longer than 80 columns will be broken into sensible chunks.
Now what exactly is unclear here?
And no, you are not the only one who is asked to fix his code beause of "Line too long" errors. Here just a small collection from the last 4 months or so:

But otherwise I see no valid reason I should waste any more of my time submitting patches which get torn apart out of hand over issues which are completely ignored for patches which come in from other maintainers.
This is simply not true. But I'm not sure if you are still listening to any rational arguments. I can only ask you to calm down, and eventually reconsider. Sorry.
Best regards,
